YouTube history of Stevenotes

Sherlock was another Apple app that lacked any use outside the US, if it really did have any use.

The funny thing is, Sherlock 3 kicked up a huge furore when it came out, Apple was accused of ripping off the 3rd party product Watson, and now the whole app is all but forgotten.

All Sherlock needs is for someone to write new plugins for him, and he'd be alive and healthy. The best thing that could happen to Sherlock would be for him to be converted into a widget and updated with new plugins.

If Sherlock wasn't Universal Binary, I would think that Apple has completely forgotten its existence. It's like an old relic of the past. Strange...

This is a pretty cool collection. The one video I've never been able to find is the introduction of the iTunes Music Store. I'm not talking about the promo video that shows that rocker dude talking to artists - I wanted to see the actual Steve Jobs keynote that introduces the very first iTMS for the Mac (not Windows). I've looked everywhere and it's either not available or not very easy to find.

Is the whole ecommerce feature gone from Sherlock? I only see shopping from Ebay currently. No amazon.

I was working with OS9 back in the days and never heard of a voiceprint feature. Find that pretty cool! But sure it could be tricked too easily.

Ah Sherlock... I was going to say whatever happened to that, but then I remembered it's still there, sitting unloved and neutered...

Funny how this Stevenote is so quiet compared to what they're like now...

Anyone know why the voice password feature dropped in OS X? (from the os 9 vid) I'm guessing it was due to it being tricked by recordings, but does anyone have the actual reason?
